The tick on the watch began to echo the silence of Vladimir’s room, when a small blow of the wind touched Ashlyn’s skin, she jolted and immediately woke up. She just felt somebody just kiss her cheek which made her look around before looking at her unconscious mate. She sighed defeatedly.
“I thought you were awake already…” Ashlyn sighed but she slightly smile. She reached out her hand and caressed gently the face of her mate when something suddenly sting her head.
‘Where are you, Ashlyn?’
‘Ashy, where did you sleep? You know that I can’t lie to your parents when you didn’t tell me where did you go.’
“What time is it?” Ashlyn groaned upon hearing Ruen and Ina’s voices through the private pack link.
Ashlyn was totally speechless at what she just heard from the conclusion that her father just came up with. But she could not easily process what just happened or there was something else in her mind that needed to be cleared out and Vladimir was the key to that answer. “That’s impossible, I never meet the blood prince before... and Dad, how come Vladimir knew about that?” Ashlyn muttered to herself until she asked her father how her mate knew about when it will tick. “That’s why I am trying to figure out their connection but it seems to me that I have to talk to him about it soon.” Alpha Jace sighed as he leaned his back over his chair and think carefully. “Yeah, we have to clear that out…” Ashlyn muttered to herself as she agreed with her father. She also wanted to know about it because she felt
As Ruen went downstairs to watch whatever anime he was interested in watching, Ashlyn on the other hand was about to tend to Vladimir when she sensed something. “What the…” Ashlyn was not sure what she was sensing all of the sudden but she definitely felt something was about to head into their pack once again. She looked over at her mate but there was no sign of Vladimir’s waking up until she sensed it again. She started to feel threatened and frightened all of a sudden as if there was something began to crawl underneath her skin. “What’s going on? What is this I am sensing all of the sudden?” Ashlyn muttered to herself trying to take a deep breath before setting it aside and going to the bathroom so she could wipe Vladimir.
Ashlyn entered the room of her hibernating mate when she sensed something strange once again. It made her knees weak and she was about to fall when her strong will changed it in one blink of an eye. She was indeed the alpha of their pack as she gathered her strength to fight the weird sensation that was swirling around the room. “Vladi, would you stop doing that.” Ashlyn groaned as she sat beside her sleeping mate. ‘Sorry, I’m just channeling what those rogues were after this time.’ “I’m wondering about that too but there was something I would like to hear from you.” Ashlyn sighed and recalled what they have to talk seriously since it was bugging her thoughts after what her father just told her. ‘Okay, what is it?’
Ashlyn made it to her playground which was in the woods without being noticed since she cloaked everything about her. Then she began to waltz around like she was dancing but there was something else going in every move that she does. “Hmm, it seems like it was still good to go but let’s add something.” Ashlyn mumbled to herself before she took a deep breath and released a tiny bit of her energy around the animal traps’ perimeter. “There, it will notify me if there was something threatening around the area.” She smirked as she felt so satisfied with what she had done there. She left a notification alarm through the energy that she put over the animal trap around the woods. As she was in the middle of what she was doing, there was another wave of heat that was heading toward their pack
Ashlyn was about to get hit straight to her face when a pale hand caught it and then heard the voice that she was longing to hear to her ears. “Nobody hurts what’s mine and live.” Vladimir firmly said as he protected what belong to him. He really did not like when Ashlyn was being put in danger. He was turning dark whenever it happened. It made her heartbeat increase and blush but it was not visible at the moment since they were in the middle of being attacked. “YOU’RE LATE!” Ashlyn slapped the face of her mate when she turned to her side where Vladimir stood firm and very protective of her. “OUCH! What’s that for?” Vladimir touched his face where the slap of his beloved mate landed. Ashly
As soon as the three of them came back to the pack house, Alpha Jace headed to meet his wife first and let the two go to the office. Inside the office, Vladimir was not saying anything to Ashlyn who was staring at him openly. Vladimir just looked stone-cold at her and Ashlyn glared before she immediately grabbed his collar. She was about to slap his face but did not do it. She just sighed defeatedly and went back to her seat across from him. “Why didn’t you finish it?” Ashlyn was a little bit taken aback when Vladimir asked her. “The last time I check you value your beautiful face…so that’s why.” Ashlyn shrugged her shoulders as she cleared that part and glanced at his reaction. “Hmm…” Vladimir just nodded and went to his cold shoulder facade yet, he stared deeply into Ashlyn which made her agitate
“DON’T CARE ANYMORE! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR COLD SHOULDER!” Ashlyn glared with such anger and kept attacking him with every form of attack that she could ever think of. “WHY DO YOU CARE IF I AM BEING COLD TO YOU?! I DON’T EVEN MATTER TO YOU, RIGHT?! SO DON’T BOTHER!” Vladimir shouted back while he kept blocking his beloved mate’s wrath. “YOU ARE SO STUPID, MATE!!!!!” Vladimir’s eyes widened and almost froze on his spot but he was sent flying again when Ashlyn’s punch reached his face. “You’re so stupid…” Ashlyn stopped from her spot and tears were overflowing. Something was indeed bursting from within that she could not put any words to it and just cry over it. Vladimir coughed from where he l
Tasting the blood of his beloved mate, Vladimir’s eyes were indeed bloodshot even the white part of his eyes was in a deep shade of blood. Ashlyn worried when she saw how bloody her mate’s eyes were already. Vladimir sensed that which made him stopped from sucking some blood over Ashlyn’s index finger. “Are you okay now?” Ashlyn asked in her worried tone that made Vladimir smile as he nod. “Are you?” Vladimir asked in return which made Ashlyn give him a look. “I asked first.” She smiled though with a playful hit on his arm. “I am.” he replied while smiling at the question of his beloved Ashlyn. “But… Woah, I feel light-headed there.” Ashlyn smiled but she suddenly got dizzy and Vladimir pulled her closer t
